Фейк A blue-and-yellow billboard was installed in Manchester with the inscription “You will be cold this winter, because they [Ukrainians] need more
The photos are being shared by social media users with negative comments. Like, in the cold, the fact that "your money continues the war in a distant country" will not warm. The billboard photo is fake.
Reuters fact checkers checked the photo using the FotoForensics tool and found that it had been edited. The original image of the billboard does not have a blue-and-yellow background, nor an inscription discrediting British aid to Ukrainians. In fact, this is an advertisement for musical events in Manchester.
Thus, the propagandists are trying to turn the British against the Ukrainians. This is not the first time Russian propaganda has used fake photos to spread disinformation. Propagandists have previously circulated photofakes about posters at airports allegedly warning Ukrainians of £5,000 fines for unacceptable behaviour. Also, allegedly, the British are already planning to expel Ukrainian refugees from the houses where they found shelter.
